Abstract: 28,233. Kirby, F. J. Dec. 5. Motor power plant.-Steam raised from the cooling-water in a generator formed on the exhaust pipe of an internal-combustion engine is utilized in the front ends of the cylinders, from which it may be exhausted either into a turbine or a low-pressure cylinder. A twocylinder engine is described in which steam is admitted through slide valves to the front ends of the combustion cylinders and exhausted into a low-pressure steam cylinder. Steam is raised in a generator P, Fig. 3, which surrounds the exhaust pipe D<2> and passes to the cylinders through an annular chamber H, the feed-water being supplied from the cooling-jackets through pipes O, which open into a cup R having an annular outlet adjacent to the exhaust pipe. The level Q of the water collecting in the generator is controlled by a float-feed device, which regulates the quantity of water passing to the cylinder jackets through a pipe K. The cooling-water, before entering the jackets B, passes through an annular chamber I having Galloway tubes J, and a chamber H<1>, both of which surround the exhaust pipe. The cylinder jackets B and the cover jackets S communicate through pipes (not shown).

Title: An Improved Attachment for Blake Sewing Machines.
Inventor: LEE JOB
IPC: D05B27/04

Granted: 1912-09-25
Abstract: 21,139. Lee, J. Sept. 25. Boot-sole sewing machines; stopping-gear, non - automatic. - The invention has special reference to Blake machines, and comprises a lever O capable of being turned about its pivot P by a treadle or the like against the action of a spring R and a counterweight o. One end of the lever O is connected through a rod S with a lever which engages with the presser-bar, so that normally the presser-foot is lifted by the action of the spring and counterweight. When the treadle is operated, the first action is to allow the presser-foot to fall, and afterwards the machine is started. This is effected by a rod W, which connects the lever O with a bellcrank lever X, K with lost motion in such a way that a bowl L is withdrawn from the flat side M of a cam E, a brake H is removed from a wheel D on the main shaft, and a clutch is operated by a fork G with wedge-shaped prongs. When these operations are reversed, the bellcrank lever returns to its normal position, disconnects the clutch, and applies the brake, the cam E being so arranged that the machine is stopped when the needle is out of the work. To enable the machine to be moved without engaging the clutch, the arm Z of the bellcrank lever which operates the clutch is carried by a pivot and engaged by a hand-adjusted eccentric a so that, when required, all the above-described operations can be performed by the treadle with the exception of starting the machine.
